Warbonnet Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I'd say this comes from an archive worthy of the IRRS or the RPSI. Great stuff! [video=youtube_share;uOkWSudb-z0] Quote

Warbonnet Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Not Irrs or rpsi. I never said it was. I said it was 'WORTHY' Of their extensive archives. Spec savers for you Mr. Kelly. I believe the poster is a person calling himself Southern Yard on YouTube. Quote
Riversuir226 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Was reading an article on their delivery from the factory to the docks using uk standard gauge bogies and running as part of goods trains. Theres photos of at least one of these runs which i ve seen & is also in one of Mr Bakers excellent West Cork railway dvds. Quote

Jawfin Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Great film - funny it says that 99 locos are being produced in total, being 36 Cs and 63 As... Quote
h gricer Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I think the original order was 100 locomotives from Metropolitan Vickers, 60 A classes and 40 C classes, but with the closure of branch lines and other cut backs, the order was reduced to 34 C classes, in total 94 locomotives where delivered.

josefstadt Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Great film - funny it says that 99 locos are being produced in total, being 36 Cs and 63 As... The film was made by Crossley Brothers. The statement '... 99 engines made by Crossley Brothers Ltd to power their locomotives ...' refers to 63 engines for the A class (3 spares) and 36 for the C class (2 spares). Quote

DiveController Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Politics trumped common sense. Ah sure, 'twas only the wan time. Ne'r to be repeated. I'm sure……... Thankfully the error of their way was soon realised! Money wasted and not invested Quote
Weshty Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 "An order worth £4,750,000" Or roughly £380M today, certainly not small potatoes...... Quote
